Very nice retrofit job Brian! Your corner lights and halo match perfectly and make me want to get some! Did you get ccfl or the leds?

Looks good Brian. I'm curious if you sealed the gap inbetween the projector and the reflector bucket with JB weld or silicon? I see the aluminum tape covering that area. I thought it's supposed to be air/ water tight and I assume the aluminum tape by itsself isn't?
Thanks!


It currently has only the aluminum foil tape + the rubber gasket for sealant in the back. I think the tape is good enough for now, especially since the rubber gasket covers it up the tape very well. I won't be doing any snorkling with my truck so I"m not worried.

It does not need to be 100% sealed, in fact there are breathing tubes you aren't supposed to cover up. You have to let it breath a bit so that when you change altitude to say 8000 - 9000 ft (Tahoe) it won't have any issues with the pressure.

Does the FX-R bi-xenon have a "bright" setting, or do you just get "lows"? Sorry for the newb question.

Bi-xenon means you get hi/lo function. Essentially it is a shroud attached to a small motor. When you turn on the hi-beam, the motor moves the shroud out of the way and you get full hi-beam.

Looks awesome Brian. You got me jealous with the 3" FX-R and OEM bulbs. I'm bummed I sold mine, but it wasn't the right time. I'll be using your walk through when I get another kit. Any night shots?

Brian, very clean retro. Painting the inside of the housings looks great on a black vehicle.

What kind of lenses are you running? The FX lenses are quite hazy...thus I switched mine out for a pair of Acura TSX lenses. Wow, what a difference that made. I've got comparison shots of both lenses in my old write up: Another HID Bi-xenon Retrofit Install *PICS* - YotaTech Forums.

BTW, I did my FX retro 4+ years ago...everything is still holding up great. Can't go wrong w/ FX projectors! Keep up the good work.

The new FX-Rs come with clear lenses now.

But if you really want TL lenses you can order them through TRS.

I wouldn't get parts from eBay though, a lot of that stuff is fake OEM.

Ah, good deal. As you can see, having done my retro so long ago, I've been out of the HID world for quite some time now. Good to hear the lenses have been corrected though. That was a big issue back then for a lot of us.

I agree. You really gotta be careful what HID stuff is being sold on ebay. What few pieces I did get off ebay, I made sure I got the correct parts.

Any thoughts on 2.5" lense vs. 3"?

Looks really good man... I am envious.

Thanks man!

The only difference is 20% lens size lol.

On the TRS website they say it is cosmetic difference only.

I don't think anything else is different when doing the install.

Honestly even when standing 10 ft away it would be difficult to tell difference between the 2.5" & 3" setups.

So just go for the 3"
